Anti-adulteration levy collections halve on high prices, shift to other fuels
Rogues traders had for years used kerosene to adulterate diesel and petrol in a bid to increase quantities then sell the dirty fuel to unsuspecting motorists.
Collections from the levy meant to discourage use of kerosene to contaminate petrol and diesel shrank by nearly half in the year to June 2024, amid sky-high prices that hit demand and a shift to clean cooking fuels.
Treasury data shows that the anti-adulteration levy raised Sh795.16 million in the period, which was a dip of 49 percent from the Sh1.54 billion collected the previous year.
